Murphy Statement on Supreme Court Decision Overruling Roe v. Wade

Statement

"A group of unelected politicians masquerading as justices just eliminated a constitutional right that generations of women have known and relied on -- the right to make decisions about their own bodies, to decide if and when to have children. This is a disaster for every person in every state -- even in states like Connecticut that have proactively protected the right to an abortion. And it's only the beginning. Overturning Roe was the first step toward achieving the Republicans' ultimate goal: a nationwide abortion ban. Today is a devastating day, and those of us who believe government should stay out of women's health care must do everything in our power to fight back. Giving up is not an option," said Murphy.
